As good as the governor from Hollywood and Austria has been for California, he authorized the execution of a death row inmate in 2005. Unfortunately, our state (my home state) still executes. I have written letters to elected officials (something I have done for reasons to express concern and promote change). Although none of “my” most preferred candidates ever have made it through to executive posts, it is worth hoping that the ones who are elected can be effected by my personal views.
